Fluid flow controller for bottle
Abstract
A bottle for causing a steady discharge of fluid when inverted that includes a bottle with a small hole in its neck, a disk retainer rim with a center hole and a multiplicity of holes through its annular section, a hollow barrel-like reservoir with a hole at its upper end when in the inverted position and a hole in its side, an air inlet tube perpendicular to the axis of the reservoir, with one end inserted into the side hole of the reservoir and protruding into the inside of the reservoir, the other end of which is extended through the side hole in the neck of the bottle, and a tube axially and angularly inserted into the hole in the upper end of the reservoir and extending to the top and side of the bottle when in the inverted position.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A bottle fluid flow controller for causing a steady discharge of fluid from a bottle, container or can, in an inverted position, comprising:
(a) the bottle wherein the bottle has a hole in a neck of the bottle and outside threads on an upper part of the neck;
(b) a flat disk shaped rim having a center hole and a multiplicity of holes through an annular section, an outer circumference of which is affixed to an inner wall of the neck of the bottle;
(c) a reservoir having a hole at an upper end of the reservoir when in the inverted position and a hole in a side of the reservoir, an outer longitudinal surface being affixed to the inner circumference of the center hole of the flat disk shaped rim;
(d) an air inlet tube, perpendicular to an axis of the reservoir, with one end inserted into a side hole on the reservoir and protruding into the reservoir, the other end of which is extended through a side hole on the neck of the bottle;
(e) a tube axially and angularly inserted into the hole in the upper end of the reservoir and extending to the top and side of the bottle when in the inverted position.
2. The bottle fluid flow controller of claim 1 wherein said outer circumference of said flat disk shaped rim is affixed to an inner wall of a cap that is open in a top part of the cap and in a bottom part of the cap and has a hole in a side part of the can; said cap having inside threads that are threaded over said outside threads at said top of said bottle, and one end of the air inlet tube extends through the hole in the side of the cap and the other end is inserted in the hole in said reservoir and extends inside the reservoir.
3. The bottle fluid flow controller of claim 2 wherein said top part of said cap has outside threads and a screw cap is screwed onto a top end of the cap to contain the fluid.
4. The bottle fluid flow controller of claim 2 wherein a plastic cap is fitted into opening of said cap and a tab attached to the plastic cap is designed to be inserted into a side hole on the cap.
5. The bottle fluid flow controller of claim 1 wherein a multiplicity of pins extend perpendicular and radially from longitudinal walls of reservoir and affixed to said inner wall of the neck of the bottle.
6. A bottle with a mechanism for enabling a steady discharge of liquids from the bottle when the bottle is in an inverted position, said mechanism comprising:
a reservoir that is attached to an inner wall of a neck of the bottle:
a vertical tube that has a bottom end with a bottom opening and a top end with a top opening, wherein the bottom end of the vertical tube is positioned in a bottom part of the bottle and the top end of the vertical tube is connected to the reservoir in a way that enables air to flow from the reservoir to the bottle through the vertical tube,
a horizontal tube that has a first end with a first opening and a second end with a second opening; wherein the first end of the horizontal tube is positioned inside the reservoir in such a way that the first opening is in a distance from the inner wall of the reservoir, and wherein the second end of the horizontal tube is connected to a hole on the neck of the bottle in a way that enables air to flow from outside the bottle into the reservoir through the horizontal tube; wherein a distance between the first opening of the horizontal tube and the inner wall of the reservoir is designed to prevent liquids in the reservoir that slide on the inner wall of the reservoir while the bottle is rotated to flow out through the first opening of the horizontal tube.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
